CBS news radio also reporting debris, including body parts, found in Jasper County, TX, near St. Augustine.

If it exploded on re-entry, it would have been so hot the body parts would have burnt to a sinder. How can there be body parts??

IT DIDN'T EXPLODE.
Both this flight and Challenger 51-L broke up from excessive aerodynamic forces.

The pieces you see are the major structural pieces of the vehicle. The problem is that these large pieces have tremendous energy and cause great damage to residential/business areas if hit.
